You ever get completely demoralized with online dating? I've reached the point where I don't know if I can handle another "hey" message on Bumble or go on another first date where I have to make sure I don't talk about myself too much and come off as a narcissist but also make sure I throw enough interesting nuggets out there so I don't appear to be a boring fuddy duddy. Maybe I'm a narcissistic fuddy duddy?

About me: I'm compassionate, curious, and confident. Tall, tenacious, and tender. Ambitious, affectionate, and alluring. Also, clearly biased towards alliteration. I enjoy reading nonfiction like history and biography, fantasy, novels, and political science. I game a little bit when I find the time and a game really draws me in, which is very rare. I enjoy open world and sim games. I like animals and other people's pets and would like to get a dog some day. I enjoy involving myself in my community doing some kind of volunteer work and place importance on trying to make the world better. I'm not a religious person but I don't mind if my partner is. I'm really and truly single. I have no wives, no girlfriends, no unicorns, and no chimeras. I live on my own. I have a big boy job, pay my own bills, and even put on my own underwear every day.

I'd definitely do well with someone that is also curious and wants to move forward and see what the world has to offer. There's so much out there beyond our jobs, our previous failures, and the frivolous distractions of 21st century living. Maybe you're like me and sick of the online dating trenches. I'd love to learn more about you and what makes you tick. What are your aspirations?

I had a friend of mine get married from a relationship that they started on Reddit. Maybe that could be us one day. I'll settle for two weeks of chats and a slow fade.
